{"product_id":"a-history-of-gay-literature-gregory-woods-9780300080889","title":"A History of Gay Literature: The Male Tradition","description":"This important book is the first full-scale account of male gay literature across cultures, languages, and centuries. A work of reference as well as the definitive history of a tradition, it traces writing by and about homosexual men from ancient Greece and Rome to the twentieth-century gay literary explosion. \"Woods' own artistry is evident throughout this elegant and startling book. . . . These finely honed gay readings of selected Western (and some Eastern) literary texts richly reward the careful attention they demand. . . . Though grounded in the particulars of gay male identity, this masterpiece of literary (and social) criticism calls across the divides of sex and sexual orientation.\"-Kirkus Reviews (a starred review) \"An encyclopedic mapping of the intersection between male homosexuality and belles lettres . . . [that is] good reading, in part because Woods has foregone strict chronology to link writers across eras and cultures.\"-Louis Bayard, Washington Post Book World \"Encyclopedic and critical, evenhanded and interpretive, Woods has produced a study that stands as a monument to the progress of gay literary criticism. No one to date has attempted such a grand world-wide history. . . . It cannot be recommended highly enough.\"-Library Journal (a starred review) \"A bold, intelligent and gorgeously encyclopedic study.\"-Philip Gambone, Lambda Book Report \"An exemplary piece of work.\"-Jonathan Bate, The Sunday Telegraph\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregory Woods\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300080883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300080889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.27h x 6.21w x 1.04d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2000 pg. 1932","brand":"Gregory Woods","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913587523839,"sku":"9780300080889","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_79b5352e-ed18-4fa0-b837-0ee92c6d6744.jpg?v=1680621216","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-gay-literature-gregory-woods-9780300080889","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
